Still Life with Garlic, 1949, oil on canvas, William Scott.
Dear Fairies, Merrows, Kelpies, Banshees, & Pookas,
Meet in the meadow, make a community stew, dear ones! Play this on your radio, and later on, when you are back at home after the celebration, check out fabulous artist William Scott, your countryman, and my latest crush!
PS
Viewing tips: Notice the way his beautifully observed still lives flatten into dynamic abstraction. This, friends, this indwelling of two worlds, the 2 and the 3 dimensional, is the glory of painting.
